In a city where alternate side parking can feel like a game of musical chairs gone horribly wrong, a driveway is an incredible blessing- that is until it is blocked by a parked car and you can’t get out.

I see cars blocking driveways all the time, and I see driveway owners illegally paint yellow curbs, or add bigger and scarier no parking signs in response. It’s a game of cat and mouse.

Since everyone else did 2014 wrap ups, I decided to do my own quantitative wrap up right here on I Quant NY. The question? What were the ten most blocked driveways of 2014. Lucky for us, Open Data from 311 might just have the answer. It turns out that the NYPD fielded about 200 calls a day in 2014 for blocked driveway complaints, for a total of about 78,000 calls. That is a LOT of frustration, no pun intended.

If we look at the top ten driveways with the most complaints, it becomes clear that these constant pleas to 311 for help are warranted. Google Street View cars caught driveway blockers in the act at almost all of the locations. So lets have a look:

You see that driveway going under the building on the left side? Either did the drivers who parked here. No signs or yellow curb paint adorn the number one blocked driveway in NYC, and the only driveway from the Bronx to make the list. Having your driveway blocked about once a week sounds pretty frustrating, but having a driveway at all sounds pretty amazing. We all know everything in NYC is a tradeoff.
